Hello,
Forgive me if this has been documented somewhere, but I haven’t been able to find detailed information on the lateral control algorithm that the auto landing uses during a crosswind landing. I am assuming that it uses a crab technique (wings level, nose pointing partly toward the crosswind) to track the runway heading, the same as during auto flight.
Is it possible to specify a sideslip technique, where the nose remains aligned with the runway heading, and bank is used to compensate for the crosswind? This is a common technique in full size aircraft, and something that would be useful for larger airplanes, especially taildraggers.
My goal is to demonstrate smooth, accurate, controlled landings on a taildragger up to 25kg in crosswinds up to 11 knots.
Cheers,
